Australia's Alchemist have recently completed work on their brand new full-length album 'Tripsis'.

'Tripsis', as described by Alchemist guitarist, vocalist Adam Agius (the band is rounded out by guitarist Roy Torkington, drummer Rodney Holder, and bassist John Bray), is "The most consistently heavy album since 'Spiritech' with all the Alchemist trade marks - psychedelic, atmospheric, packed with crushing riffs intertwined guitar melodies and groove. 'Tripsis' is also the fastest album delivered by Alchemist with a few songs taking the Surfthrash sound to new heights."

Advance 'Tripsis' song titles include: 'Wrapped in Guilt', 'Degenerative Breeding', 'Grasp the Air', 'Substance for Shadow', and 'Tongues and Knifes'. 'Tripsis' will first see its Australian release in mid-July via Chatterbox Records, with its international release through Relapse in mid-September.

Additionally, Alchemist are set to tour Australia and New Zealand starting July 21st through late August in support of 'Tripsis'. This tour will kick-off with an appearance at the "Abducted Festival" in Brisbane with Blood Duster, Earth, Terrorust and more. Following, will be a European tour in October. That tour will kick-off with a headlining performance at the "Prog Power Festival" in The Netherlands. A complete Alchemist tour listing will be made available shortly.
